A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 8% Cabernet Franc aged in 40% new oak, the 2016 Proprietary Red Wine is deep purple-black in color and quite reticent at this youthful stage to begin, offering up subtle notions of potpourri, Indian spices, cigar box and iron ore over a core of crushed blackberries and black cherries with intermittent wafts of black and red currants, new leather and smoked meats. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a densely packed mid-palate and oodles of freshness framed by very ripe, finely grained tannins and laced with compelling earthy accents. It offers incredible vibrancy with tons of black and red fruit sparkle in the mid-palate leading to a provocative mineral element on the very long finish. If I could give more than 100 for this one, I would. To be released in May 2019.

Another possible legend in the making is the 2016 Dominus, a classic blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and the rest Cabernet Franc brought up in 40% new French oak. Pure, pristine notes of charcoal, cold fireplace, smoke tobacco, and both blue and black fruits all flow to a full-bodied 2016 that has incredible elegance and finesse, yet also depth and density. It’s more backward and reserved than the 2015 and needs 4-5 years of cellaring. It will unquestionably live for 25-30 years. Rating: 98+

The opulence of fresh flowers and dark fruit is so impressive. There’s so much going on, from flowers to currants. The palate is full and powerful, but what impresses most are the ripe tannins and the amazing poise at the finish. Tightens down at the end. A blend of 84 per cent cabernet sauvignon, eight per cent petit verdot and eight per cent cabernet franc. Drink in 2021.

The 2016 Dominus is a dark, somber wine. I don't quite see the explosive energy of the 2013 or 2010, not the seductiveness of the 2012, but the 2016 has a distinct charm that is all its own. Quite frankly, I can't remember a young Dominus with this combination of fruit density, freshness and polished tannins. A huge center of fruit emerge with time in the glass in a big, large-scaled Dominus that should provide readers with a long drinking window of pure pleasure once some of the baby fat wears off.
Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
